Pastis 51 is the authentic pastis created & produced in Marseille. It is made with natural anise flavouring & through its fresh taste is a popular aperitif. This classic brand from the South of France has always retained a contemporary touch. Paul Ricard was the first to market the modern day Absinthe of Pernod in 1938 & is still made by Pernod-Ricard. Pastis 51 however derives its name from first being produced in 1951.
